Install aituner

aituner runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and newer) with macOS 14 or later. Pick the way you prefer; all three give you the same app.

With Homebrew (recommended)

brew install --cask tonynv/tap/aituner

Homebrew installs aituner in Applications and keeps it current with brew upgrade --cask aituner. If you do not have Homebrew, get it from brew.sh.

With the disk image

  1. Download the latest aituner-<version>.dmg from the download page.
  2. Open it and drag aituner onto Applications.
  3. Open aituner from Applications. To keep it in the Dock, right-click its Dock icon and choose Options, Keep in Dock.

Releases are signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens them without warnings. To check a download yourself:

shasum -a 256 aituner-<version>.dmg      # compare with SHA256SUMS on the release
spctl --assess -v /Applications/aituner.app  # should say: accepted, source=Notarized Developer ID

From source

You need Homebrew and the Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install). The build script installs or updates Go, Node and Python itself.

git clone https://github.com/tonynv/aituner
cd aituner
./build_app.sh --install

This builds aituner.app and copies it into Applications. A build from source is signed for your Mac only, and it does not update itself: pull and run the script again. To run aituner in a terminal instead of as an app, use ./run_aituner.sh.

First launch

aituner opens its window and puts a gauge icon in the menu bar. It starts with a scan of your Mac; then see Getting started. Closing the window keeps aituner running in the menu bar; choose Quit from the menu bar icon or the aituner menu to stop it.
